This book explores the fascinating discourse on Jewish wit in the twentieth century when the Jewish joke became the subject of serious humanistic inquiry and inserted itself into the cultural and political debates among Germans and Jews against the ideologically-charged backdrop of anti-Semitism, the Jewish question, and the Holocaust.

Marking the centenary of the birth of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), this book offers a fresh approach to the Bauhaus artist and theorist's multifaceted life and work - an approach that redefines the very idea of biographical writing.
